Anna Hall made an emotional confession about her impressive performance at the Florida Relays following an injury-ridden period. The American heptathlete suffered a series of injuries from the 2021 Olympic Trials to the 2023 World Championships, which also put a hold on her Tokyo Olympic dreams.

On June 26, 2021, Hall suffered from a broken navicular bone in her foot, which forced her to go under the knife and ended her Tokyo Olympic quest. She then shifted her focus to the 2023 World Championships, which were again met with a setback as the American athlete injured her knee while training on a long jump board. She hyper-extended her knee and suffered a bone bruise and a PCL injury.

Hall returned to competing in the 2025 season after making an appearance at the 2024 Paris Games. She is competing at the ongoing Florida Relays held at the home of the Gator track and field program, the James G. Pressly Stadium at Percy Beard Track.

Hall appeared to be happy with her performance as she shared glimpses of her high jump and javelin throw events on social media. She expressed her joy after performing a high jump without any pain for the first time since 2023. Notably, she recorded a distance of 1.88m.

"A pain-free (!!!) 1.88| 6ft 2inch," she wrote. "Haven't been able to say that since 2023.

"And a new approach," she added.

She also highlighted the new approach in her javelin throw, stating it was her third-best performance. She recorded her best javelin throw performance at the 2024 Games, posting 45.99m.

"Also new approach," she wrote. "45.62 | 149ft 8in third best throw ever."
